In a significant development in key national institutions, President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Dr. Nii Moi Thompson as the Chairman of the National Development Commission (NDC), while Kwadwo Twum Boafo has been named the new head of the Financial Intelligence Center (FIC).
Dr. Thompson, a renowned economist and former Director-General of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), brings a wealth of experience in economic planning and policy formulation.
His leadership at the newly constituted National Development Commission is expected to drive strategic economic policies aimed at fostering sustainable development.
Kwadwo Twum Boafo, on the other hand, is taking over the Financial Intelligence Center, a crucial institution tasked with monitoring financial transactions to combat money laundering and illicit financial activities. Boafo, a former CEO of the Ghana Free Zones Authority, is known for his firm stance on economic governance and transparency.
His appointment signals the government’s commitment to strengthening financial oversight and tackling financial crimes.
These appointments come at a critical time when Ghana is facing economic challenges, including concerns over fiscal stability and financial transparency.
Analysts believe that the expertise of both Dr. Thompson and Twum Boafo will be instrumental in addressing these issues and promoting national economic growth.
